About

GeoMason-light is an optional extension to MASON that adds support for vector and raster geospatial data.

You can find the original manual of Geomason on the Geomason Site.

Why GeoMason-light?

Content:

• It includes a graph package that supports a way more advanced manipulation of graph components. This allows the users to develop more complex street network-based urban mobility/traffic agent-based models.
• It explicitly allows the creation of SubGraphs.
• It includes a VectorLayer class that allows for more geometric and spatial operations, usually common for GIS VectorLayers.

Support and open software:

• The structure of the repository allows for smoother devleopments and contributions from users, compared both to the MASON and GeoMason source repositories.
• It is fully mavenised and available on the Maven Repository.
• It comes with javadoc and sources.

Light:

• It comes without all the heavy examples included in the original geomason.
• All the code now refers to the last version of Java Topology Suite (JTS).

Dependencies:

• mason
• javatuples
• jts

GeoMason-light requires that the .jar files for the above dependencies are in the user's java class path or included the external libraries of the user's Project in Eclipse.
